Lonely Planet’s Top Places to Go in 2024
Are you looking for inspiration for your next travel destination? Lonely Planet has
published its yearly list of top places to go. Whether you’re looking for adventure, culture, or
value, there’s something for every type of traveler. Let’s explore the top picks for travel
destinations in 2024.
Top City: Nairobi
Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, was chosen for its unique music and dance culture, and
impressive local restaurants. Nairobi National Park, just a short drive out of the city’s central
business district, is a must-see, where visitors can see over 400 species wandering the open
grass plains while skyscrapers twinkle on the horizon.
Top Country: Mongolia
Mongolia is loved for its wide-open spaces, adventure activities, and unique food. The
Mongolian government has announced 2023 through 2025 as the “Years to Visit Mongolia,”
easing entry conditions for international travelers and improving public facilities, including a
new $650 million airport.
Top Sustainable Travel Destination: Spain
The publisher also recommended Spain for the country’s efforts to expand renewable
energy, to develop off-season travel, and to bring tourism to new destinations, such as the port
city of Valencia, easing pressures on hot spots such as Barcelona.
Top Best-Value Location: The American Midwest
The American Midwest, including the cities of Chicago and Detroit, is also on the list, as
it offers a high-quality travel experience at a reasonable cost. Visitors can enjoy excellent
services and facilities, such as old warehouses transformed into art studios, new eco-design
hotels, and Michelin-starred restaurants, without having to spend too much money.
21. What can people do in Nairobi National Park?
A. See various wild animals. B. Enjoy adventure activities.
C. Taste local delicious dishes. D. Appreciate musical performances.

B. It offers a unique blend of modern urban experiences and wilderness areas.
C. It has implemented measures to protect natural habitats.
D. It has simplified entry procedures and upgraded public services and infrastructure.

seeking a high-quality experience?

Over a decade ago, the science fiction series Black Mirror showed a story about using
artificial intelligence to bring back loved ones. Thanks to technological advancement, the
latest AI technology brings hope of recreating loved ones through virtual form.
Recently, it was revealed that renowned musician Tino Bao had created a digital version
of his daughter, who in 2021 passed away due to a rare disease at the age of 22. With the help
of Xiaoice, Microsoft Asia’s AI branch based in China, Bao was able to recreate his daughter
Bao Rong as an AI-powered virtual figure. Tino Bao, his family and the team went to great
lengths to piece together pictures, audio-visual recordings, and narrated memories of Rong.
After thousands of trials and errors, they presented the life-like digital human who speaks in
both Mandarin and English. Bao has finally launched a company to bring the technological
miracle to other families experiencing such loss.
However, this technological achievement has also been accompanied by many
controversies. The idea of bringing back a loved one through AI may seem comforting. Still,
researchers caution that constantly interacting with an AI version of a deceased loved one
could potentially affect the natural grieving process, leaving individuals stuck in a state of
denial. This could lead to prolonged grief and other mental health issues. Furthermore, there’s
a risk that people may become overly dependent on the technology, prioritizing their
interactions with the AI version over forming new, real-life relationships.
With the case of Bao Rong out in the open, AI resurrection (复活) has become a business.
From simple “talking pictures” that sound nothing like the loved ones to deep fake videos of
actors speaking with the faces of those who passed away, the lower end of the market is more
“artificial” than “intelligent”. Therefore, it is crucial to establish proper regulations and ethical
standards to ensure that the use of AI-resurrection technology is safe and responsible.
